Is there a way to obtain external data from within a script?

Such as obtaining the XML produced by the following URL ...

 http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=%20SELECT%20*%20FROM%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20WHERE%20symbol%3D%22aapl%22%20%20&diagnostics=true&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys

Thank you,

-Don

You have full access to all of the scripting APIs, so you can instantiate an XMLHTTP object and use that. Check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535874%28VS.8... for a basic introduction.
